AlienChangeling

Today was a sucky day. Exhausted, stiff, sore. Gym trainer had a 'tude. Dad had a 'tude when I called. Came close to hanging up but knew that wouldn't do anybody any good, least of all Mom. And I had a podcast interview coming up. So I floated into the bathroom while I was talking to them and opened my little chest where I keep my smellums (I had to get another! I overflowed!) and got out the Tranquility Potion. The first spritz hit the side of my throat kinda. (In other words, I almost missed completely. I didn't have it turned right.) The second one got me just under the hollow of my throat where I wanted it. By the time I could put it back and latch my box and get out the door I was aaaaaall happy! And I still am!

I have my OCCO White and I love it. I get very vanilla at first. Then it goes through an over-ripe fruit stage, slightly funky, as it dries down. Eventually it mellows into vanilla sugar with a touch of anise and fruity something. I don't know if there's actually anise or licorice in the blend but that's how it came across on my skin. It could also be that, since I put it over the Incens de Cafe (because I was amping the incense to the heavens), that the anise came from something in the Incens. But it was nommable. I also noticed some restless stirrings from hubby that night - but I didn't slather, just a little dot on one wrist, so not enough to really get fired up about. Yet. *EG*

I tried it when I got it and I loved it in the vial, but when I put it on my skin, I started amping the incense RIDICULOUSLY. I've never had anything do that before. Pretty soon a little nickel-sized dot on my wrist was verging on giving me a headache. I applied a dime-size quantity of OCCO White over it and that mellowed it into something truly yummy on my skin. And I could smell all of it the next morning. Nom.

WAAAAAH! No solids! :'(

There. Are. Perfume. Solids. Available. At. LP?

If one of y'all backs out, I'll take it!

LOL there's everything in there BUT, regarding trifle ingredients. I <3 a good trifle.

A raspberry trifle, perhaps?

OMNOMNOM! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! ME WANTS, ME WANTS! BUT ME ALREADY ORDERED & IT SHIPPED!!!!!!! arggggghhhhhh! and it's not up on the website yet!

Rosebud, that's exactly what they do to heart patients. Quality of life or no.

But how do you manage to desensitize the area? I tried bikini waxing once (I used to regularly have my legs and underarms waxed) and DANG. Some of the hair follicles actually bled. I'd love to brazilian wax but can't even imagine the pain. EDIT: Errhm, I think I went waaay off topic. Would y'all like to continue this discussion over in my journal area?

DANG! I go out to get some fresh air, shop, and have a lovely dinner out with my husband, and miss THIS! (OK, so the shopping and the dinner out were wonderful. But I still missed THIS!)

I ordered a bottle of OCCO white in my last order so I am going to try slathering with that (like, erhm, Valentine's Day?) and getting all flirty and seeing what happens. I thought the white would probably blend well with the sorts of fragrances I tend to like, if I choose to mix and match.

These boots were made for stalkin'...

Yup, the LP gang really knows how to spoil us!

I am now...a unicorn jockey. I LIKE IT! I miss my horses...

I tend to get un-phero'ed scents, and unscented pheros, for the simple reason that I can then mix and match. If I want to wear LP Black today and, ah, get the hubby interested, I'd have several options of pheros to add to it, including SS4W and BI. If I'm doing a bookreading, I'd add Lumina or Popularity Potion. If I'm meeting one of my best buds for lunch I'd wear Perfect Match, probably (I think that's the right one). If I'm in a hardball business meeting, Leather. A pub, possibly Cougar. One scent, multiple ways to induce reactions. Multiply that by the number of scents I have (that I love!) and I have literally thousands of options for any given day.

Tankyewtankyew! I'm about to make a honkin' big order of pheros here soon anyway. I LIKED the results I got on the Popularity Potion/DC. And I'm thinkin' about some OCCO to really boost things...well, you've seen the PCOS thread.

Hm. I HAVE had phero "crash," and also have a tendency to get all wound up about stuff, so... Mara, may I have a Tranquility Potion please?

Ditto here. I've worn Leather with nothing to cover it. I don't think it has cops in it; I have a pretty sensitive nose, so if I can smell it, I cover it. If I can't smell it, I don't worry too much. Edit: Then again, I love these perfumes, so it's very seldom that I go without a cover fragrance! I'll go without pheros, but not without my 'fumes (unless I'm going to the gym).

Well, I wouldn't get any monthly cycle variation because I no longer have anything to MAKE a cycle. End result was that in the course of time they had to remove everything. However I did some experimenting last night. I positively slathered myself in BI. I coated my cleavage - breastbone and both inner breast sides - in the stuff. Then I added some LP:WV as cover and smooshed the girls together to spread it real well, then anywhere it looked wet, I rubbed my wrists in it. Then I put on my jammies and went to bed. Interestingly, hubby was very restless last night. He didn't make any overtures, but I noticed he kept shifting around and moving his legs and such like, which he usually doesn't do. He claimed this morning that it was because of the cat, but he was doing it without the cat being in bed with us. I think I just got my first hint of a reaction to the pheros and cops from him.

Mara, for somebody with anxiety disorder AND chronic depression (they're linked due to the first depleting the neurotransmitters and causing the 2nd), which would you recommend more - tranquility potion or open windows?
